A few weeks ago I had an Andersen storm door installed on my south facing front door. Everything is fine until the sun hits the door in late morning. Then there are intermittent cracking and popping sounds for the next hour or two. They can be REALLY loud, almost explosive sounding. This is northern New York State so the nights (and mornings) are cool already. I realize that metal expands when it warms (like from brilliant sunlight) but these noises are unusually intense. My old storm door was quiet. I can't tell if the cracks and pops are coming from the door block, the metal frame, the hinges, the wood frame. Improper installation? Any suggestions for quieter mornings?
